They needed a new furnace for that area of the church
I was attending a special service at our local church last week. They were honoring all the fallen soldiers of the past wars and present. My father had been killed in the Gulf War, and my brother recently died in a training accident. After the the service, he was talking to everyone when I saw him walk up to the dais. He asked if there was an HVAC technician in the house? This was quite a change from the subject we were discussing, but it must have been important. The minister said they were having a problem with the heating in the prayer chapel. If anyone could help with the problem, he would be quite grateful. I wasn’t an HVAC technician, but I knew several guys who were. I was about to offer their help when one of the newer parishioners stepped forward. He said he was a Navy vet, and he was an HVAC technician. He would be proud to do the HVAC job in the prayer chapel. Two other HVAC technicians offered to help. I couldn’t believe the generosity of the three men who were donating their time to help the church. When they came out of the area, I heard them tell the minister that there was no fixing to be done. They needed a new furnace for that area of the church. The first man to offer his help told the minister that if he would pay for the equipment, he would make sure all of the work was done for free, and he would lead the team. I hope that one day I can be as gracious as these men.
